Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Port Washington, WI

"My aunt has lived at Bria Trinity Village in the assisted living for over 3 years and we both couldn’t be happier! The staff are kind and very responsive to any of her needs. They remodeled a few years back and the building is beautiful! The apartments are nice sized and offer a lot more amenities than other assisted living I have visited. Carrie C "

"My father moved into Cedar Community. They've done a terrific job watching him. They have done an outstanding job changing what they do for him in order to match where the disease is. I'm just very, very pleased with how he's doing there. His room is spacious. It holds all of the family heirlooms and things that he took with him from his home, and there's plenty of room. They have a garden that his room looks out to and he would be able to get out there come summertime and wander around the gardens that they have going. The common areas are nice, especially the restaurant that he uses. They have several larger group areas where they can do programs like bingo or different religious activities like praying the rosary. He goes down to the activities himself. They announce them when they're going to start, and he makes the effort to get down there. If it's something that is an exercise program that he should be attending, they go and actually search him out so that he takes advantage of it. The food is excellent. It's designed for the assisted living residents where they'll have a generous breakfast and a generous lunch, and then a little bit less for supper. People go to bed early and that keeps things like reflux at bay. It's not cheap, but I think he does very well there. And it's that kind of idea that it's worth the money if he's doing well."

"My father will be moving into Luther Manor. It was pretty awesome. The staff is very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. The facilities were very clean. The amenities were very top-notch. They showed me their independent living. They have like a security button that each resident had to push on the wall. It's going to be next to my father's phone on the wall. They have to press that button before 10 AM. If the residents have not pushed it by then, someone will go on to the apartment to check, to make sure that they're okay and safe. I thought that was pretty awesome. They have a laundry room for those apartments that don't have the washer and dryers in them. What was available within the timeframe that we wanted was a small studio and then the largest studio. They didn't have a 1-bedroom available, which is what we wanted. If later on, one opens up, then we could always go into a different apartment. The facilities are very clean and very nice. The people seem very friendly. They have a nurse and a doctor there if people don't have one. It's also pet friendly. The staff who showed us around, she's very friendly and very knowledgeable. I've been on the phone with her back and forth on different things. She's very helpful. Even when we had our tour, we went into a room to talk about things, and she talked to us as a family. But she let my dad know, "We want to be here for you. What is it you're looking for? What can we do for you?" So, it's very consumer-oriented. They do provide meals. They have a cafe that the residents can choose from, and then they also have a restaurant. The seniors can decide if they want to go down and eat in the restaurant, or they can order it and have it delivered to their apartment, or they can order it and decide they just want to go pick it up and eat in their apartment. The facility is very clean, and it was kind of quiet, which was kind of cool. When we went, it was around dinner time, so a lot of people could have been eating and there wasn't a lot of traffic. There were some residents around, but a lot of them were at supper. We didn't get to interact with them much. My father will have a large studio, so there's an alcove that had ample closet space that we're going to put his bed in. The view of the apartment is over a pond, and we saw ducks in there. They have a walking path through the different sets of apartments, like assisted living, and hospice care units. I would love for him to eventually get an apartment that had a balcony because he's a gardener. So, at least he would be able to plant flowers and stuff on his balcony. The apartment was very clean. When I talked to the staff on Friday, she informed me that they were going to paint the apartment before my dad moved in. Right now, it just has the floor there, so they're also going to have a carpet for him."

"My father has lived at Eastcastle in independent living for 13 years. He loves it there and has many friends. Recently, he was ill and needed rehab and was sent to the Health and Rehab Center. The staff on the 5th floor is exceptional. From the therapists, nurses and aides to the kitchen and housekeeping staff. They are all so compassionate, professional and knowledgable. I have a list of 10+ employees that really impressed me. (And I am a nurse of 31 yrs). Dad is 97 years old and the unexpected decision was made to move him into Assisted Living. An extremely stressful time was made utterly seamless by the help and guidance of the administrative staff in all departments. They helped with everything from giving us boxes to recommendations for movers to where to donate furniture and clothes. Eastcastle has a lovely store called The Treasure Chest where residents can donate things and the profits go toward scholarships for their younger employees! My dad loves his new apartment and again the staff is amazing. I can’t say enough good things about Eastcastle Place and it’s continuum of care, it’s employees in every area and the administrive staff. Thank you all! "

"I toured Pine Haven Christian Communities Giddings Avenue Campus, and I would highly recommend this. They offer great amenities. However, they were just too far away from any of us that would be visiting my mom. But I think that they'd be worth placing people. It has everything from duplexes to apartments to assistant living and then to memory care. So, it's a community. They have their own hairdresser, too. It's very nice. I thought it was great. I'd go there as a senior citizen myself way before I need any medical help. It's a beautiful apartment with a full kitchen and bedrooms. They're beautiful."

"It was comfortable. It has a nursing care component. It was larger with higher storage. It appealed to the community with art exhibits and they had performers who came in for the residents. They also had field trips and the staff was wonderful. I would recommend them to others. "

"This is a great facility. The rooms are spacious with private bathrooms. The variety of activities is wonderful, and there are even evening activities. The staff are friendly and truly care for their patients. My dad has been there for 4 months now and we haven't encountered anyone who isn't kind and patient with him. The gardens are beautiful and well cared for. "

"I have been a private caregiver of a resident in Senior Independent Living at San Camillo. Prior to this I worked as an EMT for an ambulance service for Milwaukee Waukesha & SE Wisconsin. I have had the opportunities, to work within almost every facility, in these above listed areas between both jobs. I love San Camillus Community ! Everyone is friendly, kind, & neighborly. I have experienced places that have a religious background " hold themselves" in a higher accountability to those they serve. There are many assorted activities available here to continue "community" actively with each other. This attributes to being social, and creates new friends, physical activity, positive mental health, enriched daily spiritual life. All Residents & employees help Seniors to be involved in life, which helps with loneliness many face, in their golden years. Residents encourage each other to attend meals and all activities, helping everyone to feel wanted, needed and cared about. San Camillus is kept very clean and tidy and quickly takes care of any maintenance needed. They provide many different types of skilled maintenance employees avail to handle any situation. Someone is always available to assist with medical emergencies. Meals are A-1. A large variety of meals including daily soups, assorted fruit and vegetable salads, 2 main entree selections, vegan meals and assorted beverages including "happy hour" drinks. Delishious desserts including sugar free items too ! They are very accommodating to special needs for foods. Staff are very professional and friendly. Anything you may need, they will be able to assist you with, or assist with getting you in contact with the appropriate people. This is a very Positive place to live, work and visit ! I only hear positive comments from residents and their families and workers who make this place, a place to work for years. I continuously recommend San Camillus Community for my own family and friends and acquaintances and am proud to be part of this Community, that is a positive home for our Seniors. I've worked in and visited many facilities, but this Religious based St Camillus Community is welcoming and always attentive to all needs and operates in highly respectable fashion in all aspects !

"I visited. They were actually having some special thing going on that day. They were serving meals and had door prizes and things just to get people interested. I was impressed because as soon as we walked in, they were smiling, very open, and just friendly. It was well kept. The person who helped us was very friendly and very nice. I noticed that every resident that walked up to her was so talkative to her, and they were all having a good time. The food was good. We ate outside because it was a nice day and they had a lot of people."

"I am a resident of Regency Brookfield's independent living section. This community has a nice outside location. A conservancy surrounds it, so there's wildlife in the area. It's also close to Bluemound Road, which is good for almost any kind of shopping. You can still get to grocery stores without going on Bluemound Road. There's a back road you can take to get to the largest grocery store. It's also close to churches and the highway for commuting further into Wisconsin. There's Goerke's Corners, which is just half a mile away from this location. You can pick up a bus to take you to O'Hare Field. They change staff frequently. They had people in the building a couple of hours a day, and then they moved to just two days a week, and then they moved to hire someone who's there all the time. She's a manager, so she can make more decisions. They also have a second person who is a life enrichment person who schedules activities and does the calendar. I think that person is changing again. The food is fine. It's not inventive, and it doesn't take chances. They do a rotation every six weeks. They do a fair number of activities that are regularly done by the staff, and then some are done by the residents. They have three events that have to do with getting together and eating or drinking done by the people who live there. They have a pub night, wine-and-cheese night, regular bingo, and other activities purely run by the residents. They also have life-enriching people who mainly do the arrangements of musical events or regular celebrations of birthdays. They're consistent with that and do that at least four times a month. They also provide transportation from one building to another. The two buildings are located on a hill, so it's harder for older people to walk; therefore, they have a bus that goes back and forth for the event. The quality of the food and the quality of the musical events are good. They have musical people who sing, and a school that came and gave a religious presentation, with all the students participating in the event."

"Village at Manor Park was a big community and had all the facilities. My mom used to have her own apartment, and she also had rehab. I used to have lunch with my mom and the food was fine. I felt like I knew more about my mother than the caregivers there, they weren't totally up-to-speed on things. They have people that would volunteer to come in and play music for the residents, they also play Bingo and games like that."

"We went to look at Regency New Berlin Senior Living. It was modern and up-to-date. They had a lot of activities. The staff members were very nice, informative, and took the time to answer all of our questions. They had a fitness center, underground parking, a car wash station, a game room, and a lounge that was like a bar."
